In both HCN and HNC molecules, the oxidation number of carbon (C) is -3. This is because hydrogen (H) is almost always assigned an oxidation number of +1, and nitrogen (N) is usually assigned an oxidation number of -3. By assigning the oxidation numbers of H and N, we can then determine the oxidation number of C that makes the overall charge of the molecule neutral.

What is the oxidation number of carbon in HNC?
HCN ( hydrogen cyanide) has the structurte H-C///N ( /// = triple bond). The oxidation number of an atom is the number of outer most electrons used in forming a bond. Not all the outer most electrons are used, some can remain as 'lone pairs'. Carbon ALWAYS has an oxidation no. of '+4' . It never varies. Hydrogen has an oxidaton number of '+1'. It is the nitrogen that has the variable oxidation. number. HCN forms the ions , H^(+) & CN^(-) Since carbon is always '4' and the overall charge of the ion is '-1' , then we can form a sum . 4 + N = -1 N = -1 -4 N = -5 is the oxid'n no/ of nitrogen in HCN. ( All five of nitrgens outer most electrons are involved in the bonding process. ). Compare with ammonia NH3 , Here nitrogen's oxid'n No. is '3' leaving a 'lone pair' of electrons not used in the outer most electron shell.
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in HCN?
C=4 n= -3 oxygen is -2 OCN has net charge of -1 so here is my expalnation we will take C as unknown -2+x-3=-1 x=4 now N is the unknown : -2+4+x=-1 x=-3 and Oxygen is always -2 except peroxides and others cases... hope i helped !
What is Ka for HCN aq H aq CN aq?
ka=[H+][CN-]/[HCN]
How many single bonds are in HCN molecule?
One with a triple bond between C and N. If you have encountered sigma and pi bonds there are two sigma bonds H-C and C-N and additionally two pi bonds between C and N.

What is the shape of molecule of hcn?
HCN has a linear molecule.

H is +1, O is -2 overall carbon will have an oxidation # of -3
Does acid hydrolysis of alpha keto nitrile produce HCN?
Yes, acid hydrolysis of alpha keto nitrile can produce HCN (hydrogen cyanide) as a product. This reaction occurs by breaking the C-N bond in the nitrile group in the presence of an acid catalyst, leading to the formation of HCN and a carboxylic acid. However, caution must be taken when handling HCN due to its toxicity.
Is hcn is a bAses?
HCN is hydrocyanic acid and is acidic (not basic).
What is the oxidation state of c in hc03?
+4 oxidation state
Is an hnc in contstruction equivalent to a nvq level 4?
An HNC is equivalent to the first year of a uni course. An HND is equivalent to the second year of a uni course. As for a NVQ level 4 i don't think it is as good as a HNC.
